Thread: Fellow Pistoleers
Not the way we've been proceeding about things. Oh no, we need to MOOAAAAAAAN, and **edit** and WHINE until we get what we want.
**edit** being better people. This is a GAME, I want to have FUN! I don't want to be FAIR! We should DEMAND that wielding two pistols gives us speed and damage advantages! We should SCREAM that we need better weapons that can be made affordable to every single pistoleer out there.
Why shouldn't we get what the Riflemen have, what the Teras Kasi Masters have?!
Do you honestly think that they're going to be able to correct our problems and make us a balanced class while they've allowed incredulous min/maxing everywhere else?! HELL NO!
Let's be selfish! Let's demand maybe more than we deserve!
Only by making the flaws in the balance of combat classes hideously visible and apparent will ANYTHING ever be done about them!
In that spirit, I am outlining a list of demands that we MUST force upon the developers in order to gain not just relevancy, but superiority:
1) Higher Rated Armor Piercing weapons. There exist large bore handguns in real life, why not high output ones in Star Wars?! A prime candidate for this could be a Disruptor Pistol, it's already in the EU. Possible stats should range somewhere from min 150- max 400 dmg 3.2 speed, blast damage type, and heavy armor piercing.
2) When we weild two guns, we should be firing with BOTH hands at once! If I've got a 1.5spd FWG5 in each hand, I wanna see two shots for every attack turn I get! Why the hell not?! Why should it be two damage types?! That's bull**edit**, there's only ever going to be ONE damage type I'm going to want to do on a creature. I don't want it just to look cool, I want it to make me more powerful!
3) Don't just "fix" our damned specials. Make them WORTHY. Stopping shot should be hitting a lot higher than it does for crying out loud. Fanshot should be something to FEAR in PvP. A Master Pistoleer is the epitome of the old west gunfighter. Did Clint Eastwood lose to some pansy trying to snipe him with a rifle?! HELL NO! I want that sense of power and I know you do too!
4) MORE SPEED. HAN SHOT FIRST! A rifleman should NEVER be able to shoot as many times as I can in a 5 second span.
5) And **edit**, gimme some **edit**in' holsters!
Maybe I'm bein' rash... Maybe I'm just crazy enough to get something done.
And maybe, just maybe, this is sleep deprivation.
Drastic times often call for drastic measures - make your demands I say!... just don't ask for the holsters until welllll after we're fixed.. er, I mean made superior (Ha, pistoleers and superior in the same sentence.. and in that context, that'll be the day).
trust me, it's true. i played a master rifleman for several months

You mean working specials? A Master of EVERY pistol in the game? (we are master pistoleers are we not?) I have been a MP since August of 2003. I have given up on yelling for fixes and equality. The combat balance is the last hope for me.
It seems as though the DEVs will get there in their sweet old time. When that day comes I will probably be gearing up for WoW...If not playing it already. I really had no intention of playing another MMORPG once I signed on last year. But Sony's lack of quality control has pushed my attention elsewhere.

<yell> what do we want?!?! when do we want it!?!?!? NOW!!!! IT ABOUT FRIGIN TIME WE GET SOME ATTENTION AND FIXES WE ARE TEH MOST BORKED PROFESSION OUT THERE OR AT LEAST ONE OF THE MOST NEGLECTED ONE</yell>
